Git commit 4ddc4159ed5d9fb6e7b7c6edc1b04460f87c984b by Felix Ernst. Committed on 27/08/2022 at 09:40. Pushed by felixernst into branch 'master'. This commit removes the ability to enter selection mode by click-and-holding with a pointing device like a mouse. This functionality was originally implemented because it seemed useful to save users the effort of entering selection mode explicitly by using its corresponding action. However, click-and-holding to trigger anything is not really an expected behaviour. (This contrasts with touch devices where press-and-holding is common to trigger something.) Aside from the above reasoning, the click-and-hold behaviour was also buggy so that selection mode was entered in a couple of situations that weren't strictly about click-and-holding. So this commit removes the functionality and the bugs.
